“Safety, security and safety again and great joy that today we form this great community of the free world with the United States and the other countries of the North Atlantic Alliance,” said the President of the Republic of Poland Andrzej Duda, reporting to journalists. about the progress of the talks in the White House.
In a very solemn and pleasant atmosphere we had conversations about security, which we mainly discussed with President Joe Biden, the situation in our part of Europe, and of course also the war situation in Ukraine. I reported to the President because the President asked how we assess this situation, what the front line looks like today and what we think the future will look like when it comes to the war and Ukraine’s opportunities. I said that the assistance provided to Ukraine is undoubtedly of great importance and fundamental to Ukraine’s defense capabilities
– the President of the Republic of Poland told journalists after the meeting at the White House.

Here the President also thanked me for the meetings I held in Congress, the Senate and the House of Representatives. He thanked me in particular for meeting with representatives of the Democrats and representatives of the Republicans of both parties (…). I more or less explained how the conversation went, what I was talking about; the question of our Polish situation, what conditions, in our opinion, must be met in order to be able to say that security is actually guaranteed

I also told the President about this initiative to propose to NATO allies to increase defense spending to 3 percent. It is not just about how much we will spend on arms purchases, but also whether we will be able to largely rebuild the arms industry in Europe, whether we will be able to produce sufficient quantities of ammunition relatively quickly to secure our countries and may be able to help people who may be under attack. There is no doubt that Russian imperialism has been reborn and that it must be fought decisively. This Russian imperialism must be stopped, that’s what we talked about today at this meeting
– said Andrzej Duda.
We thanked President Joe Biden for this extraordinary invitation to the White House, not only as a Polish representation, but – one can safely say, taking into account this 25th anniversary of the admission of not only Poland, but also the Czech Republic and Hungary to NATO – as representatives of these three countries, our part of Europe, which regained full freedom and sovereignty after 1989 as a result of political changes (…), later as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the collapse of the Soviet imperialism . This is what we were talking about: we must not allow Russian imperialism today to disrupt the stability and peaceful existence of Europe
– the President of the Republic of Poland told journalists.
These were the main topics of the very good meeting we had here at the White House with President Joe Biden and his colleagues. There was talk about Apache helicopters for the Polish army, the support given to us (…). $2 billion of such an exceptional loan for us to cover the capabilities of this part of the modernization of our military. We are currently discussing this matter
